Why Use a High Low Adapter with Tow Bar Instead of Adjustable Ball Mount
Question:
Hi, Im just wondering what the pros and cons are to using a high-low hitch adapter vs an adjustable hitch for flat towing? Thanks,

Expert Reply:
Either option you mentioned would be dependent on what style of tow bar you use. If the tow bar has a shank that inserts into a hitch opening like the Roadmaster Falcon # RM-520 then a high-low option is only way to go. If the tow bar attaches via a hitch ball like the Roadmaster Stowmaster # RM-501 then an adjustable ball mount would be the way to go.
I attached a link below that has more info on high low adapters as well.
